Aviation ICAC type panel needed
"The only thing that will predicate change is the fear of and liklihood of discovery"
1. Create an independent safety reporting authority with statutory powers and ensure that the governance of this auhority is overseen ONLY by operational pilots, CC & engs on a rotating 2 year contract (ie a 'pool of resources with type currency and practical experience)
2. All reports go this authority are logged and assigned to CASA/ATSB & the airline concerned. Outcomes/resolutions/investigations all come back through the reporting authority for comment/review.
3. Reporting Authority reports direct to Parliament (ie NOT via a Minister....incidently noted that said Minister who normally has a media release for anything has been totally silent throughout)
4. Authority to publish reporting performance stats by type & by operator quarterly. This will in time create a "safety performance perception" in the mindset of the public which will (despite 'Bulltish Bruce's' $39 fares) change the way people chose to fly. It also will provide protection for aviation employees.
Less than $1 per pax would more than fund it.

PS: Hope Woodward and AIPA are seeking advice re; what appears to be a clear demonstration of defo arising from Bruce's email.
